On February 18, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev attended the inauguration of the Aghdam Regional Digital Control Center and the Training-Education Complex, owned by Azerishig OJSC.

Chairman of Azerishig OJSC, Vugar Ahmadov, briefed the head of state on the facilities established within the center. In line with President Ilham Aliyev’s directives, extensive reconstruction and modernization works have been undertaken in the liberated territories to restore electricity networks, ensure energy security, and supply power to new infrastructure projects. As part of Aghdam city’s master plan, the Aghdam Regional Digital Control Center was built to support the city’s growing infrastructure, following its groundbreaking by President Ilham Aliyev on May 2, 2023.

The two-story center features two 2500 kVA power transformers and closed-type 35 kV and 0.4 kV distribution units on the first floor, with control, technical, and auxiliary rooms on the second floor. Electricity is supplied from the 110/35/10 kV “Aghdam-2” substation via a 35 kV aerial-cable line. The center ensures real-time digital control of the power grid, improving efficiency and reliability across the region. It also includes modern workspaces for engineers and a reception area for citizens.

President Ilham Aliyev launched the Aghdam Regional Digital Control Center.

The Training-Education Complex is fully equipped to host international events. It will facilitate the training of qualified specialists in the field of power engineering with the participation of local and international trainers. The complex will also provide instruction on the application and operation of renewable energy sources, professional skill development, hands-on training in real work conditions, and skills competitions. The training hall is designed to offer a visual presentation of the modern 35/0.4 kV network model, fiber-optic cables of 35 and 0.4 kV, and the application areas and advantages of composite fiberglass poles.

The complex also features dedicated stands showcasing network components and equipment. A model demonstrating the application of green energy sources (solar and wind power facilities) in the liberated territories has been developed. This model will be used for training both technical staff and future active consumers. In addition, the complex includes an electronic display highlighting historical achievements in the energy sector, interactive educational stands, modern metering devices (SMS, Smart, and NFC meters), safety equipment, and management posters.
